For the Record: The Tiny House Movement is NOT About Cheap Houses. Oddly, I’ve been thinking about writing a post about the “spirit” behind the tiny house movement for a while now based on some of the comments I’ve seen floating around the tiny house realm.

Last night, however, after the showing of HGTV’s new Tiny House Hunters, the negative reaction of so many “haters” (for lack of a better generalized term) finally gave me the incentive I needed to wake up super early and get it done. For some hard to explain reason, it’s super important to me that I clarify that the tiny house movement is NOT about cheap dwellings! If you page through this blog, you’ll see some of my earlier posts that discuss the reasons that John and I decided to build a tiny house and a cheap house really wasn’t one of them. Sure, we were looking for financial freedom, a more simplistic and less consumeristic lifestyle, but we weren’t looking for a $5,000 dwelling or even a $20,000 one.

Pratiquer l'aquaponie pour votre résilience. A yurt of sticks and mud. 2011 has been a year of yurts, w/two opportunities to try out this simple design of sticks and mud — a more permanent adaptation of the traditional, portable, Mongolian design.

One was for a friend and neighbor. The other was a workshop at Aprovecho Institute, as part of their sustainable shelter building series. Lots of people helped! Both were made with locally harvested bamboo and fir poles (arranged reciprocally to make a self-supporting, conical roof w/a central skylight, which I’m still trying to figure out how to cover cheaply…) Here’s a little picture book about the whole process.

With everything from a full sized kitchen with conventionally sized appliances, a comfortable set of stairs to the master bedroom, copious amounts of storage throughout, space for a home office for two, storage that works double duty as furniture, and ample head room in the lofts, to a functional bathroom with room for a conventionally sized sink, shower and toilet, hOMe is a comfortable residence suited for full time living.

How to Design a Tiny House in 3D. Last week I talked about how to draw a tiny house floor plan. (A big thank-you to the many people who have contributed ideas and techniques in the comments!) Most designs start with a floor plan — but the vertical dimension is what brings the floor plan to life. Take, for example, the McG Loft, by Humble Homes (pictured at right). Like many other tiny houses, its floor plan is very simple.

BIOLET 15 - Manuel 2014 NOUVEAU. Create 25sqft Of Extra Storage By Building These Box Stairs. I know that many tiny houses today don’t have staircases in them because people opt for ladders instead; however, I don’t think ladders are a great option for several reasons. First and foremost, there’s nothing quite like having to climb down a ladder in the middle of the night to use the bathroom. Further, as the home’s inhabitants get older, the use of a ladder will likely become more and more difficult.

Another Couple Living in a Debt-free Tiny House: Meet Shaye & Tom. Shaye and Tom are a young couple who decided to design and build their own tiny house in West Auckland, New Zealand. It measures 7.2 meters long by 2.4 meters wide which translates to approximately 24′ x 8′.

Or a total of 15 square meters (or 161 square feet). They’ve only been living in it for two weeks as of the filming of the video tour and interview you can watch below thanks to the folks at Living Big in a Tiny House. What’s really inspiring is that the couple had never built anything like this before.
